Even with the Cold War?

That's been going on for 34 years, I can manage.
4
It's been a bit colder these past few weeks.
5
Oh, no, I'm fine.
6
You know why?
7
Because in two hours, and I do plan on extricating us from here in exactly two hours, the night will be over, and I won't have to see them again until next year.
8
Start your stopwatch.

One hour, 15 minutes, and 40 seconds.
16
Oh, wow, it's a piano player.
17
That's Brad.
18
I found him at Nordstrom.
19
Was he on sale?
20
I thought a little background music would add a nice touch.
21
He knows every song ever written.
22
Freebird!
23
Hi, Brad.

Lorelai, please.

Now come along.

Everyone's here.

Lorelai.

Dad.

These are guests, Natalie and Douglas Swope.

You two have met.

Yes, at the auction.

Good to see you again.
37
Nice to meet you.
38
Yes, you too.
39
Same here.
40
And this is our international contingent, Claude and Monique Clemenceau.
41
They're just in from France.
42
Ah, Clemenceau.
43
Hi.
44
I had to guess Spain.
45
Hello.
46
How are you?
47
Hello.
48
Hello.
49
Monique, voici ma fille et ma petite fille.
50
Ah, elles sont si jolies.
51
My Monique speaks only French, so please excuse the inconvenience.
52
Oh, no, that's fine.
53
I'd love French.
54
She really wants to learn English.
55
Perhaps tonight will inspire her.
56
Je leur ai dit que tu voulais apprendre l'anglais.
57
L'anglais, oui, je vais bien l'apprendre, mais je suis tellement paresseux.
58
Oh, ça prend du temps, Monique.
59
Don't do it.
60
Thank you.
61
Oh, no, no, no. That's why I love it when the Clemenceau's visit.
62
It gives me the opportunity to haul out my rusty French.
63
Your French is wonderful, Richard.
64
It always has been.
65
Oh, no, no, no. You're very gentle.
66
Please, sit, sit.
67
Thank you.
68
So, Rory, you speak French at all?
69
Just a tiny little bit.
70
Un tout petit peu?
71
Oui, un tout petit peu.
72
And you, my dear?
73
Even less.
74
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
75
That's about it.
76
Lorelei.
77
Oh, my God.
78
It's just a joke.
79
Asking my friend to go to bed with you is a joke?
80
It's a song.
81
It's just a joke, Dad.
82
Oh, je vois.
83
C'est une chanson de pop.
84
It's a pop song.
85
I'm wondering, I didn't know that.
86
Lady Marmelade.
87
It's very rich.
88
It's very, very funny.
89
Oh, well, thank you.
90
You need a drink, oui?
91
Very astute, Claude.
92
Martini with a twist, Dad?
93
All right.
94
Is this your first American Thanksgiving, Claude?
95
It is.
96
It is.
97
I've seen it in the movies.
98
People seem to eat and eat and eat until they can't eat anymore.
99
That's about it?
100
It's about giving thanks.
101
Gets you thinking about the good things.
102
We have a lot to give thanks for in this country.
103
Definitely.
104
Me, I start each day giving thanks for three things.
105
Cuban cigars, French champagne, and gorgeous women.
106
And I must give extra thanks to the extraordinary group here tonight.
107
Douglas, Richard, leave us, won't you?
108
What?
109
Just another joke.
110
I missed another joke.
111
You have your mother's wit.
112
Sometimes I wish she'd give it back.
113
Emily mentioned that you were coming from another function?
114
No. This is your second dinner?
115
Fourth, actually.
116
Fourth?
117
Oh, thank you for fitting us in, Lorelei.
118
Don't worry, Dad.

You're the main event.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
